Total: 33
To maintain a rotor at a uniform angular speed of 200 rad s – 1 , an engine needs to transmit a torque of 180 N m. What is the power required by the engine? (Note : uniform angular velocity in the absence of friction implies zero torque. In practice, applied torque is needed to counter frictional torque). Assume that the engine is 100% efficient.
Solution:
Here, angular velocity, w = 200 rad s – 1
Torque,τ = 180 N m
Power,P = ?
Power,P = τ w
P = 180 × 200 = 36000 watt = 36 k W
